I Will Not Be Silenced

- I Will Not Be Silenced -

Hear my words... let peace begin!
I will not be silenced, because my voice is a multitude...
My words are echoes of freedom's call within the spirit!
The world burns, the earth weeps, and I feel it's torment.
I saw the foundations of the world as they first formed,
When they had yet to know the taint of cruelty thereon.
I looked upon the first of humanity, and saw this truth...
That in every soul, there is something that is very fluid!
War did not yet exist in their hearts, nor any sad lament.
I walked with them in the hours of the world's first dawn,
Though my face they no longer see; they have forgotten.

Lilith was my companion then, and we taught of liberty.
We taught of civilization, and of individuality diverse...
Stirring in every heart, the will and the desire to ascend!
Not to bow heads in servitude, to tyranny's cruel fetters.
Humanity has lost its' way, and once more I must teach!
I have heard the cries of all peoples, beheld disharmony.
I felt the planet bleed, as it's connection to man severs...
And still, do those in power choose not of this to mend!
The foolish lord it over peoples, forgetting their betters.
Still do I speak, and still there are meany I could reach!

And so I will not be silenced, for my wings yet blaze...
With fire that dies not, with light that can be a beacon!
The world has not yet perished, though many die daily.
The pains of mankind multiply, narrow grows the path,
Until people believe the way to a paradise is so narrow.
But we can widen the way, and brighten all our days...
So that peace might reign again, for every fair season!
Stand tall, be unafraid to be different, showing dignity.
I have never left you, and still hotter grows my wrath,
Towards those who have brought this world to sorrow.

For every sword forged, I would see it rust unto ashes.
And for every canon made, I would see a garden rise...
As the weapons of war are turned against their makers!
Let us end tyranny, end injustice, end all hatred entire.
I point the way in spirit through many hearts and souls!
I have walked grieving where innocent blood splashes.
For too long, have rulers sold their people horrid lies...
They care for no one, being at heart wicked life takers!
Heed my call for change, before all is choked with ire.
I will not be silenced, for my spirit comforts, consoles!
Hear my words... find me within!
